Overview

A professional, entrepreneurial couple based in Ghent are seeking a dedicated, warm and “sunny” Nanny to join them as they prepare to welcome their first baby in July 2026.
This is a unique opportunity for a highly experienced Nanny looking for a long-term commitment with a growing family. The mother holds cherished memories of her own childhood Nanny and hopes to recreate that same positive, lasting influence for her child.
The role will begin when the baby is just a few months old, ensuring a smooth transition from the newborn stage into a structured long-term routine. The mother will take a short maternity leave before returning to a demanding role within the family business, so a confident, reliable Nanny able to take full charge of childcare is essential.

  • 8:30am – 7:00pm

Additional hours will be required for:

  • Evening babysitting
  • Occasional weekend support
  • Travel periods

(Time off in lieu or additional payment will be provided.)
Flexibility is essential due to the family’s entrepreneurial schedule and international lifestyle.

Accommodation

  • The family reside in a 3-bedroom apartment in central Ghent
  • The Nanny will be provided with a separate private studio apartment nearby, offering independence and privacy

Duties

  • Full nursery and Nanny duties from infancy
  • Establishing and maintaining feeding, sleep and developmental routines
  • Supporting early years milestones and overall development
  • Managing all child-related responsibilities with full autonomy
  • Preparing meals for the child
  • Child-related laundry and organisation
  • Packing and travelling with the family internationally
  • Working harmoniously within a well-run household

Travel

The family travel extensively throughout the year, including:

  • Regular stays at their home in the South of France
  • Winter trips to the Caribbean
  • Additional international destinations

The Nanny must be confident, organised and enthusiastic about frequent worldwide travel.

Ideal Candidate

  • EU passport holder (essential)
  • Native or fluent English speaker (essential)
  • French and/or Dutch a strong bonus
  • Extensive newborn and infant experience
  • Career Nanny seeking a long-term role
  • Warm, positive, optimistic and naturally “sunny” disposition
  • Confident taking full charge when parents are working
  • Flexible and comfortable with changing schedules
  • Professional, proactive and highly reliable
